MXene/Ferrite Magnetic Nanocomposites for Electrochemical Supercapacitor Applications

Micromachines (2022)

Arun Thirumurugan Ananthakumar Ramadoss Shanmuga Sundar Dhanabalan Sathish‐Kumar Kamaraj N. Chidhambaram

MXene has been identified as a new emerging material for various applications including energy storage, electronics, and bio-related due to its wider physicochemical characteristics. Further the formation of hybrid composites of MXene with other materials makes them interesting to utilize in multifunctional applications. The selection of magnetic nanomaterials for the formation of nanocomposite with MXene would be interesting for the utilization of magnetic characteristics along with MXene. However, the selection of the magnetic nanomaterials is important, as the magnetic characteristics of the ferrites vary with the stoichiometric composition of metal ions, particle shape and size. The selection of the electrolyte is also important for electrochemical energy storage applications, as the electrolyte could influence the electrochemical performance. Further, the external magnetic field also could influence the electrochemical performance. This review briefly discusses the synthesis method of MXene, and ferrite magnetic nanoparticles and their composite formation. We also discussed the recent progress made on the MXene/ferrite nanocomposite for potential applications in electrochemical supercapacitor applications. The possibility of magnetic field-assisted supercapacitor applications with electrolyte and electrode materials are discussed.

Due to its superior advantages in terms of electronegativity, metallic conductivity, mechanical flexibility, customizable surface chemistry, etc., 2D MXenes for nanogenerators have demonstrated significant progress. In order to push scientific design strategies for the practical application of nanogenerators from the viewpoints of the basic aspect and recent advancements, this systematic review covers the most recent developments of MXenes for nanogenerators in its first section. In the second section, the importance of renewable energy and an introduction to nanogenerators, major classifications, and their working principles are discussed. At the end of this section, various materials used for energy harvesting and frequent combos of MXene with other active materials are described in detail together with the essential framework of nanogenerators. In the third, fourth, and fifth sections, the materials used for nanogenerators, MXene synthesis along with its properties, and MXene nanocomposites with polymeric materials are discussed in detail with the recent progress and challenges for their use in nanogenerator applications. In the sixth section, a thorough discussion of the design strategies and internal improvement mechanisms of MXenes and the composite materials for nanogenerators with 3D printing technologies are presented. Finally, we summarize the key points discussed throughout this review and discuss some thoughts on potential approaches for nanocomposite materials based on MXenes that could be used in nanogenerators for better performance.

Strategic analysis of lithium resources by addressing challenges and opportunities for sustainable electric vehicle battery development in the era of global EV domination

Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie (2024)

Arun Thirumurugan Rajesh Govindaraj Shanmuga Sundar Dhanabalan P. Sakthivel N. Chidhambaram

Abstract The increase in the interest in electrical vehicles (EV) makes us to focus on the available resources of source materials for battery development and to improve the battery performance to achieve the complete EV domination over the others. Recent observations clearly tell us that EV and hybrid EVs are going to change the world market. As the demand is going to be high for the batteries, it is important to understand the number of reserves, production and supply of the source materials which can be used in batteries. Based on the data we must find alternatives, if there is a shortage of source material. This article briefly discusses the lithium reserves and production by the world. We also discussed the increasing demand on EV and the extraction of useful materials from the used battery for the sustainable environment and to follow the circular economy aspects.

Bio‐Inspired Nanomaterials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Recent Developments and Future Scope

Arun Thirumurugan Ranjith Krishna Pai Carolina Venegas Abarzúa R. Udayabhaskar Mauricio J. Morel

Over the past decade, bioinspired synthesis methods have offered efficient green strategies to fabricate complex nanomaterials that are highly efficient and sustainable. Various novel bioinspired structures have been discovered with potential applications in electrochemical energy storage/conversion. The main advantage of bioinspired synthesis methods over conventional methodologies is that they utilize naturally abundant resources for the fabrication of electrode nanomaterials using simple, low-cost processes. For example, carbon-based materials are derived from biomass to fabricate efficient electrodes for supercapacitor (SC) applications. Investigation of structural or functional properties of electrode materials at the nanoscale has gained significant interest due to their outperforming properties and unique advantages. This book chapter focuses on bio-resources and bio-templates while giving a brief introduction to bioinspired nanomaterials. It highlights bioinspired synthetic strategies and explains artificial biostructures applied to design electrodes with optimal characteristics that significantly broaden the research opportunity. Moreover, it discusses the complex structures of the bioinspired nanomaterials, like bionic function, hierarchical porosity, etc., that help in improving their electrochemical performance, along with describing their physical and chemical structures. The chapter provides a thorough study of the recent developments of bioinspired nanomaterial-based SCs and explains their improved electrochemical properties like cycling stability, energy density, etc. Apart from summarizing the recent advances in the field, it gives a detailed description of the future scope for enhancing the performance of these materials for energy storage as well as other potential applications.

ZnO/Graphene Composite from Solvent-Exfoliated Few-Layer Graphene Nanosheets for Photocatalytic Dye Degradation under Sunlight Irradiation

Micromachines (2023)

V. Vasanthi Sivanantham Nallusamy N. Gopalakrishnan V. Ramakrishnan Arun Thirumurugan

ZnO/graphene nanocomposites were prepared using a facile approach. Graphene nanosheets were prepared by ultrasonication-based liquid phase exfoliation of graphite powder in a low boiling point organic solvent, 1,2-Dichloroethane, for the preparation of ZnO/graphene nanocomposites. Structural properties of the synthesized ZnO/graphene nanocomposites were studied through powder XRD and micro-Raman analysis. The characteristic Raman active modes of ZnO and graphene present in the micro-Raman spectra ensured the formation of ZnO/graphene nanocomposite and it is inferred that the graphene sheets in the composites were few layers in nature. Increasing the concentration of graphene influenced the surface morphology of the ZnO nanoparticles and a flower shape ZnO was formed on the graphene nanosheets of the composite with high graphene concentration. The efficiencies of the samples for the photocatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue dye under sunlight irradiation were investigated and 97% degradation efficiency was observed. The stability of the nanocomposites was evaluated by performing five cycles, and 92% degradation efficiency was maintained. The observed results were compared with that of ZnO/graphene composite derived from other methods.
